How are you guys runnin 20's?

gsxrliterbikz · 07-07-2015, 05:25 PM

Just tested these 20's. Style 101 from an e65/66.
20x9 front 20mm offset
20x10 rear 20 mm offset.
245/40 and 275/35 tires.

Rears are hitting the backside of the liner. Might be fixed by a spacer.
Fronts are just about touching the strut.

What size spacers you think I could safely run to push stuff out for more clearance without getting too close to the fenders.
Front obviously has plenty of room up top, but the strut is close and the liners are close.

They already stick out a bit. So using a spacer will increase it even more. Not sure I like it.

Biggest reason for using them is free tires. I'm leaning towards not using them, but if it's not a lot of work, I love the wheel. Actually have them on my 7 too.

What do you guys think?

35 and 40 profile tires are too tall for 20s, should probably be 30 profile at most.

My current setup. No rub and can do full lock on the fronts. copy paste lol

Thanks for the info guys. Kinda figured it was too big of a tire. But since I would be using these wheels as is, I'm gonna pass
Plus, there's no way I'm gonna run a 25 series tire out where I live. I have a hard time finding someone to mount these tires, let alone an even lower profile.

You can run 285/30 on the rears. I ran 255/30 and 285/30 on my wheels which were 20" x 9" and 20" x 10.5". Your only problem might be offset. 20mm offset might be too aggressive for a 285/30. My wheels were 28mm but also .5" wider so it might work and it might not.

I run 20" 295/25 245/30

You don't need 25 profile tires. 30 will be fine.

4corners · 08-09-2015, 01:26 PM

You should be going to 18's not 20's for ride and handling. But if it's bling you're after, fine.

I'm not after bling. Just a nicer wheel and tire combo. 19" is best imo.

Just picked up these though.

Style 464 from a 550 m sport. Needs spacers to look right though. Rears are way too high offset. But no rubbing whatsoever. Handles great.

tdott · 08-09-2015, 08:01 PM

Those tires are too big.

You'll need 245/30/20 and 275/30 or 285/30.

gsxrliterbikz · 08-09-2015, 08:22 PM

They are 245/35 275/30. They fit just fine. No way I'd go smaller. These things are tiny as it is.
